Joint Seat Allocation Authority

Joint Seat Allocation Authority- JoSAA provides a common platform for to apply online in various engineering colleges. There are various colleges IITs, NITs, ISM and GFTIs where every engineering aspirant put his best to take admissions in these colleges.

So in order to eliminate that collaboration was done. Now by single registration, they can apply to numerous colleges. The process of filing will start in June 2018.
